Tulsi Gabbard voted against AOC’s amendment which would have prohibited the military from recruiting young children on Twitch— Bhavik Lathia (@bhaviklathia) July 31, 2020
Why is this sub stanning AOC's virtue signalling BS amendment? Theres still a poverty draft in full force in the US and it just got the 30 million evictions of new potential recruits. Would this amendment really have changed anything?
"Service guarantees citizenship" doesn't need twitch to function
A better take on this would've been asking why AOC is silent on sanctions, on imperialist wars, the US coup in bolivia. But takes time, during a pandemic where 30 million americans report not having enough food, to take care of the "military using twitch problem".
Not everyone is going to learn how to swim if you throw them right in the deep end. Not everyone is going to immediately agree if you offer the most comprehensive critique of imperialism.
Politicians have a mainstream audience and there's value to starting slow with stuff like "maybe the military shouldn't be allowed to recruit kids on Twitch." Why? Because it'd be an uphill battle even to get that passed, so we know a more comprehensive solution isn't going to pass, so the real goal here is to nudge that mainstream audience in the right direction without them writing you off. We need to get a lot more people on our side to accomplish anything significant, and this is a strategy for doing that. This is not all the left should be doing, but it's part of it.
